Ok, so i am typing this on my blackberry key2 which is getting 7 years old.

Please give use a hardware keyboard phone. The only option i see is the unihertz titan slim, which has about the same power as the key2....

Please!

    Dope. For you, the softkeyboard era might never begin.

    Wait, wasn't there an option for a keyboard on FairPhone? Uhh, looks like just an addon.

    Yeah there is at the moment only unihertz with android11 Or a kickstarter is coming this/next month, mecha comet. But its a mobile linux pc, which has somehow the form factor of a mobile....

    I will stick with a hardware keyboard phone for my life... I am old, and i am grumpy :)

    I have a PinePhone, which is that. It kind of feels redundant with the desktop I already have, TBH, and can't do things like use local mobile carriers.
